Morris says:
"It was only a couple of years ago that we said, What's going on here?'
Really, an album that someone worked on for two years ‹ is that worth only
$9, $10, when people pay two bucks for coffee in Starbucks?" Morris sighs.
"People never really understand what's happening to the artists. All the
sharing of the music, right? Is it correct that people share their music,
fill up these devices with music they haven't paid for? If you had Coca-Cola
coming through the faucet in your kitchen, how much would you be willing to
pay for Coca-Cola? There you go," he says. "That's what happened to the
record business."
